Satellite TV Hookup

I have a Dish Tailgater with a 211 receiver. My rig has 3 TVs and 2 satellite connections in the convenience center. I initially could not get the satellite system to work on any TV. I used a coax continuity checker and determined that the satellite terminals near all 3 TVs were connected to a single input in the convenience center. I found the two cables from the convenience center and 3 cables going to each of the TVs all connected to a junction box fastened to the ceiling behind the convenience center. There were 2 other cables hooked to the junction box which I assume were part of the air antenna. I used the coax continuities checker to determine which cable went to which TV. I then bypassed the junction box and connected the cables from the convenience center terminals individually to my living room and BR TVs. The outside TV I can hook directly to if needed. My satellite TV now works but have lost my on air TV. Will need to continue troubleshooting.

Anyone else been down this road?
